Interim order of injunction granted against Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA)

An interim order of injunction against Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) has been granted restraining UWA and anyone acting on its behalf from issuance of export licenses for pangolin scales. The interim application was brought by Greenwatch against UWA.

In his ruling, the Assistant Registrar, His Worship Festo Nsenga granted the application and maintained that the status quo should remain until 9th March 2015, when the judge will hear Miscellaneous Application 67 in which Mr. Smith Ewa Maku (who was previously granted a license to export pangolin scales) will be heard to be joined as a co-defendant in the main suit together with Uganda Wildlife Authority.
